2 years ago i registered a domain with a company and now it needs 2 be
renewed, but obviosuly i want to do it with joker.com which is dirt cheap.
can i renew it with joker?? or do i have to wait till its expired and then
just re-register?
You don't have to wait until it's expired. You can transfer the registration
from your current registrar to Joker. Joker should be able to tell you how
to transfer a domain there - I would guess there is information on their
website about it.
However, if your domain expires in, say, a couple weeks, that might be
cutting it too close to change registrars. It takes a while for domain
registration transfers to work & you will often find that it's not possible
to transfer a domain that close to renewal time. In that case you would have
to renew with your current registrar, then transfer the domain to Joker
after renewing there. So it's best to do it as soon as possible.
Letting your domain name expire before renewing would be pretty risky!
Someone else might register the name before you can re-register it!
